Now that the Treasury is free- via the temporary until December lift of the debt ceiling- to auction off huge amounts (like $600B per month in both October and November) of Treasuries the question is who- other than the Fed and those the Fed pays- will buy the Treasuries yielding an all time LOW?

I believe the total media assurance that the Fed still controls interest rates and therefore you can ignore the little man behind the curtain’s (actually the Treasury Secretary Yellen is a little lady) desperate need to get the Federal government cash via auctions is the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
If you have to buy any stock I recommend gold and/or silver mining stocks
